I read this as stop quitting after 2 hours

Honestly, don’t think about it, remember it’s a video game, not the real life stock market, I’d just get it done, it’s freeing. Once I buy card, I never look at the price again. I’m glad had the extra time with the cards I wanted.

I love this idea of super charging legends. I hope as part of them continuing with education of baseball, that they super charge more legends on days that highlight big milestones or moments in their careers. For instance Jackie Robinson day supercharge him or on April 8th supercharge all Hank Aaron cards in honor of him breaking the Babe Ruth’s home run record.

The problem I’m seeing is it looks like it will take about a week or two for a casual
Player to get these done, by then it’s like you get to play 99s for a week and then have to build up again from scratch

Now that McGwire is a pitcher, we need Maddux and Glavine as hitters. Greatest baseball commercial of all time “Chicks dig the long ball”.

As long as I don’t have to pitch 200 innings with an 85 babe Ruth or hit two doubles with Daniel Nava. nothing will give me 18 vibes

People want all their hitters to hit 400
And their pitchers to have a sub 1 era.

I’ll be forever waiting on my high socks and stirrups captain for players who wear socks and stirrups

He’s a chase card, he’s supposed to be the next thing you go after when you get live series, he’s not supposed to be easy

But when are you going to code it so we don’t loose stats on a dashboard, why can’t Home runs just count in the coding off the bat.

Before when wins mattered and you got something, it was ok, but since stats are the only thing that matter for the majority of non top players that don’t go 10-0, this has to be addressed at some point. Before if someone dashboarded I’d be one win closer to an event reward or the BR program, now it means nothing.

I shouldn’t stress hitting a slow moon shoot, knowing my opponent is going to quit. Before ok cool, atleast as an average player I’d get a win towards something.

I think most people’s pack luck is about the same as it usually is, some years I pull a lot and some years nothing. The problem is the gate keepers keep getting more expensive and there isn’t a way to play this game to make up for it. Getting rid of event and br rewards and making it all in one, kills stub making. I think diamond quest has actually killed the market in the fact that you earn a lot of bronze, silver and golds, so everything but the gatekeepers and chase cards are at quick sell value. With no other real avenues to grind and make Stubbs, it makes it feel like your pack luck is worse, especially when you’re grinding and the gate keepers keep going up and even when you do pull a diamond and it’s not a big boy, it’s essentially worthless and feels like a let down.

I think the issue isn’t that the gate keepers are expensive, they’re supposed to be. It’s that they keep rising, and not by like 10k, but by like 50-100k. Most of us will never pull shohei and even if we open a lot of packs, however the grind just keeps getting harder. Mentally if you know he’s 450k and you know you have to grind to get that, you do what you have to, the problem is how it’s just keeps inflating, so you get the 450k and now he’s 600k, and this makes grinding feel like you’re doing nothing but chores and not enjoying the game.

I feel like most people that pick duplicates are not normal forum posters, so they come looking for help because they don’t know what to do and I feel bad for them because they get met with such sarcasm... It seems like they are either new players or casual players. I hope the program in an exchange next year.

I understand that they are 99s, they should be hard to get, but when you a time limit on use, my time to grind these cards isn’t as much when I have a full time job and other things, so when I do get these cards and can’t use them because the season ends in a week, that’s the issue.

I wasn’t a whale, but I never minded spending money on the game, I have a real job, so finishing the live series or buying a card I really wasn’t an issue, the sets and seasons model ruined it for me, because I don’t want to spend money on cards that have a shelf life (yes I know cards would get outpaced in the previous model, however if I could make the call whether I wanted to keep using a card or not. I went from spending $400-500 a year, to zero.

Also something to consider, the young stars have actually developed, so some easy collections are now harder. The royals for example used to be a quick sell value collection, even when Salvy would go diamond it would be well into the year. The central in both leagues used to be easy. The pirates before Skenes used to be another one. It used to be Angels, Yankees, Dodgers Phillies, Braves would be hard and now mostly every team has an expensive or had an expensive card this year.

It’s insane this year, I’m taking some time off for myself, the way my brain works is I have to finish live series before I do anything else or buy any of the other fun cards, but I’m not enjoying playing anymore because I feel like I’m grinding and the goal posts keep getting further away, I feel it when I line out on perfect perfects or have bad luck. For me, the best thing is to take a sometime, enjoy other things and come back with a new approach to the game doesn’t involve finishing live series.

I just finished it yesterday, once it’s done you unlock the rest of the game and can then go after cards you actually want (which should be the way you play anyway, but getting live series done is a goal).

@tear4eddy_PSN

Play with the cards you want, the game has a 6-8 month cycle, who knows maybe your favorite legend won’t be in the next game. I miss Ty Cobb, Rogers Hornsby, Lefty Grove, Ernie Banks and Jimmy Foxx, these were some of my favorites and they’re gone. I’m always for buying the cards and not worrying if they go down.

This time of year it isn’t about attributes, it’s about do I want to add a player to my team because I like them.
